Taj Samundra was a decent experience for us, though the rooms are old-school and you can see wood worn off in some places, the grandeur of the property over shadows everything. The buffet spread was great but service a bit chaotic. We do want to mention a shout out to Joseph at the gym, Bhatia for room service, Ms Dinushah at check-in and Ms Tathsarani at check-out. I do have to mention the rates we booked at were inclusive of all taxes as mentioned by expedia at the time of booking but when we got the property, it was easily 35 USD more per night including tax. Expedia needs to be clear about this so we can choose the best price for us.

Not sure how this hotel is so highly rated on trip advisor. Room wasn't ready when I arrived. Communal/lobby areas are very nice but rooms are looking tired. Number of occasions where my room was cleaned but not topped up with amenities, such as bottled water. Service is very poor, there are loads of staff but no one seems to help. Difficult to get any kind of drinks with dinner other than water. Lobby bar was out of stock of basically everything. Wi-Fi throughout the hotel is really slow (2mb max speed). Food in the buffet is good but same dishes are served each night. Had some laundry done and all my clothes were shrunk - tried to explain it to staff but they either did not understand/pretended they did not understand.

when walking to our room we can smell smoking, when asked we were told that room with balcony is a smoking room, But we can see someone sitting inside the room and smoking, also one gentleman smoking on the corridor. Bath tub is moldy. We paid for room with ocean facing but we were given a room where there is a building blocking the view, There are not chest of drawers in the room. We liked the breakfast and dinner buffet very much. Staff is very nice

fabulous service in a great hotel, as always!!!
this was our second stay at this hotel & just before we were to check in some friends told us about the horrible room experience they had & how we should change our hotel. since our first visit was great I wasn't sure if this feedback was good for the entire hotel or just an unfortunate experience they had so I decided to call the hotel & speak to them & share my concerns. the lady at the customer service desk heard me out & reassured me that there was no cause for concern & told me someone would call me back during regular office hours the next day to clarify any doubts. this did not happen so negative feedback on this. however, I sent them an email listing out all the rooms that were part of the group & soon enough I got a reply reassuring me of the impeccable taj service as always. upon check in they had upgraded all our rooms to the next category & they specifically assured us that we would go back carrying forward the same experience as we did the first time & that is exactly what happened. super stay & full marks to the Taj Colombo team, especially Niluka who made our stay superb.

Taj - as always, never disappoints.
I’ve stayed in many Taj properties over the years and there’s a reason I keep coming back. The team at Taj Samudra were always attentive and on point during my stay. No matter the late arrival hour (past midnight), or looking for a restaurant, they were always ready to assist. The property is starting to show its age, but this is beyond staff control. I’d encourage the owners to spend a little to spruce up the property a little especially as it has such a beautiful frontage to the sea! Thank you, Taj Samudra team, for a wonderful experience.

Run down hotel, horrible customer service
Ocean view Deluxe room on top floor smells musty, bugs flying in the room. Bathroom and toilet have glass door so there is no privacy if two people are traveling together. We asked our room to be changed, manager tried his best to delay changing the room, made us wait 4 hours. Eventually we were changed to a city view Jr suite room, which fixed some of the above mentioned issues. Even this room is run down, bathroom door is crooked & barely closes, mini bar is not stocked, no after hour coffee in the business center, strong smoke smell is the hallway when we booked non-smoking room. Being an Indian American, I wanted this hotel to be good (since it's an Indian luxury hotel chain). Sadly It's an overpriced, run down hotel and no attention is being paid to hotel maintenance and customer comfort. I wouldn't recommend this hotel at this price point.
